Lowered car through car wash

[alfi.mke]

Hey all - probably a dumb question but I didn’t see anything on this. Running z4 euro eibach springs, would I have any issues going through one of those car washes that have a tiny ramp on one side? They look like this.

Go to a touchless car wash. I go through one when I'm lazy to handwash lol. Theres a small speed bump and I don't have a problem going straight through since I move like 1mph.

This one is touchless, the system moves back and forth while your wheel is propped in the middle of the bump mechanism. I feel like I should be ok, I used to scrape on my old civic a lot but I don’t think my car is dropped as much as that lol

You can always just take a tape measure and measure the platform and ground clearance in the front and front fender...

too tough. Please just give me the answer so I don't have to expend any of my own personal labor or effort

Don't worry, I'm a reliable source of snark in these waters.

The conveyer belt track system would be okay for a ‘full service’ carwash but I wouldn’t try one with the traditional metal rail with any lowered car.

Oh and for what it’s worth… my Supra has never been in traditional carwash but daily car makes use of them when I need to get the big stuff off.

You all put your Supra through car washes?

I made a box that’s the height of the lowest part of my car. I use it whenever I see risk, mostly speed bumps. Takes maybe 20 seconds to get out my car, pop the trunk to get the small box and measure whatever I’m about to go over. As for car wash, Supra has never seen regular or touch less car wash. All hand wash weeklyish.

Only during the winter when it’s warm enough, I have a pressure washer setup at home but stored away for the winter. With my commute at the moment by the time I get home it’s already dark. Want to run to an auto wash to get rid of some winter build up

Side note: If I owned a car wash, I'd have a sign made that depicts the front side view of a vehicle with a minimum height warning. It would be prominently posted at the front of the wash and where payment is accepted. This would help prevent liability issues.

If you wash a car like that, you better wipe like this.
